# About Varbase

![The Ultimate Drupal CMS Starter Kit (Bootstrap Ready)](/files/-LMp_ZSw4Un8sXUxva_P)

## **Introduction**

Varbase is an enhanced Drupal distribution packed with adaptive functionalities and essential modules, that speed up your development, and provides you with standardized configurations, making your life easier.

The essence of Varbase, lies within the basic concept that initiated it; [DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_repeat_yourself). Varbase handles that for you, relieving you from repeating all the modules, features, configurations that are included in every Drupal project.

Varbase can bring ease to you if you are:

* Confused about choosing the appropriate module needed for a specific functionality.
* Trying to bridge the gap between the users' experience and editors' experience.
* Being overwhelmed by the complexity of making a fully-fledged Drupal CMS website.
* Wasting so much time on choosing the suitable functionalities.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.varbase.vardot.com/9.0.x/overview/about-varbase.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
